Very lush and vibrant. Beautiful!

That's very cool. Looks like the broms and jewels are loving life in there. Is that a bulbo i see? I would fill it with Angraecoids.

I can just imagine the little dart frogs now...what a beautiful home for frogs!~Charm

That's awesome! Do you have fans in there? If you do they're well hidden. I have an aquarium that I'd love to set up with plants, but don't know what to do about air movement.

Sheila :)

I forgot the Mediocalcar decoratum. Yes I have three fans in there. One cools one of the hoods and brings air in and the other too circulate air within the terrarium.

Beautiful setup, Rodrigo!

Thanks. I just ordered some isopods and springtails. Hopefully they will focus on the rotting organic matter and not my orchids. When I get the frogs they should keep the critter population down.

Everything seems to be doing nicely. Both leaf and root growth has taken off and no adverse effect from the extremely high humidity. I guess the fans are doing their work.

Cheers

Jeez, that is a whole jungle you have got in there! Amazing. I tried growing plants in something similar once but I had terrible problems with algae. How do you control that? You have to keep the glass dry but the humidity high. I never cracked that.

I only recently set up the terrarium so we'll see how I make out with the algae. So far so good. I have three fans in there to keep the air circulation optimal. Perhaps that's what the trick is. I have the one fan which brings in air from outside (on a timer) and two additional fans which only blow air around within the terrarium (also on a timer) both od which are shown above.

I'll try and update this post when the plants establish themselves. there are a few that are spiking right now so I'll post more photos when they bloom.
Cheers
Rodrigo

It looks great now, and with time it will look so lush you won't be able to see the frogs!
